"House of Seven Gables"

 

This home was based on several personal photographs (and a main online reference) from my trip to Salem. It was a school project in my environments class and one of the first times I really began to understand perspective. Although it has faults, it was also the first time I began to see evidence in my work that environments can take on personalities.

 

I will surely do many more environments in the future, but I particularly like here that there were several levels to this home. I chose it as a subject because of its interesting history, as evidenced by it architecture in the chimneys. To this day, every time I see a similar home, no matter where I am, I think of the Colonies and New England.
